Elphie was at Kiamo Ko, trying to figure out a way to free Fiyero's family when the train stopped at the castle. She wondered who was visiting when she saw a young boy come out.
"Liir! Did you invite a friend to visit?" she asked the boy who tagged along with her.
"I don't have friends except Manek, Irji and Nor. Why?"
"A young boy is here. Answer the door when he gets there."
Liir got up, annoyed that she kept ordering him around like that. But he did as he was told, afraid of her anger. He opened the door and saw this boy. He was medium height, dark skinned and looking nervous.
"Is there a woman named Elphaba and a man named Fiyero here?" the boy asked.
"Elphaba lives here. I don't know a Fiyero," Liir told him. "Do you want to come in?"
"Please. I must speak with Elphaba. Tell her my name is Yuro and that I know who she and Fiyero are."
"Hold on." Liir went and told the Witch this. She nearly screamed, "Get him up here! Now!"
He tentatively went to talk to the Witch. He had been warned by the boy that she had seemed angry. When he got up to her room, she slammed the door closed.
"Have you come to torment me with this foolishness you speak of? Why have you come!" she demanded.
"Please don't kill me or anything. I just need to know who Elphaba and Fiyero are."
"Why!"
"These... memories, it seems, that I have but aren't mine! I want them gone. They say you're a witch. Do you have a spell to get rid of them?"
